Bug Report – “Denoise” Option Missing After Update

 

Description:

After updating Lightroom to version 8.4 arm64 [20250603-0500-10f89fb] (June 2, 2025) on macOS, the Denoisefeature is no longer available. The option that previously appeared under the Detail panel in the Edit module has disappeared completely.

 

This feature was working prior to the update.

 

Steps to Reproduce:

 

  1. Open Lightroom version 8.4 on macOS 15.5.

  2. Import or open any RAW image.

  3. Go to the Edit panel → Detail section.

  4. Attempt to use the Denoise function (previously available in the top right corner of the Detail panel).

  5. The Denoise option is missing.

 

 

Expected Behavior:

The Denoise (AI) feature should be available for supported RAW files, as it was before the update.

 

Actual Behavior:

The Denoise option is no longer visible or accessible.

  • PH: 5.2.3

 

 

Notes:

 

  • The issue persists across different RAW files.

  • The GPU is correctly detected and shows no issues.

  • Reinstalling Lightroom did not resolve the issue.

  • The feature was available prior to the update to 8.4.

    Denoise functionality is different in 8.4. See this screenshot showing Denoise as a checkbox.

    I recently purchased a Macbook air M4 laptop.  I already have lightroom (Not Classic) on my desktop PC.

    When I logged in to my Lightroom account on my new Mac it downloaded everything but did not include the denoise feature.  It only contains a noise reduction slider that does absolutely nothing!  It functions exactly like my lightroom on my Ipad pro tablet, again with a slider but no Denoise box.

    And yes I have the latest versions on all of my devices.  Is this feature just not available on Macs?

    Open Help > System Info and check that you downloaded version 8.4

      I have LR ver 8.4 on my desktop computer.  I recently purchased a Macbook Air M4 with Mac OS 15.5.  

      When I logged into lightroom on my new Mac I was able to get all my photos and what not but evidently it must be a different version then whats on my desktop as it does not contain the Denoise feature.  

      My question is, do I need to delete the LR on my Mac and reload a different version of Lightroom for my laptop in order to get the Denoise feature?

      I do a lot of shooting at high ISO (even with a 2.8 lens).  I used to batch use "enhance" a lot for 7 or 8 pics at a time.  Enhance is no longer in the Photo menu.  Now it appears that I can only denoise one pic at a time.  Please show me how to batch denoise with 8.4, or PLEASE return the batch enhance feature.  One at a time is TERRIBLE when you have 100 pics to denoise.  avsafety@bellsouth.net

        Hi @BRUCE28461361nn3h, Welcome to the Lightroom Community Forums! In Lightroom Desktop, your two options for batch editing are:

        1. Copy/Paste

        2. Presets

        Lightroom Desktop does not have Sync, Auto-Sync, or Previous. You can check out the conversation about Batch Denoise in Lightroom Classic community board here: https://adobe.ly/3G7vLVZ.

         

        I hope this helps! ^CH

        Hi, with the new update, how do I denoise/enhance ALL the photos at once? 
        I have about 300 photos to enhace. Before the update I selected "enhace" and it did it for all the phots. Now it seems like I can only do it one by one.
